College of Ayurveda and Hospital, Hassan, Karnataka, India 2Associate Professor and HOD Department of Swasthavritta, S.D.M. College of Ayurveda and Hospital, Hassan, Karnataka, India ABSTRACT Jyotishya Shastra, the words derived from Sanskrit. "Jyotish" means planets or celestial bodies or graha and "Shastra" means scientific study. The word “Graha” has various meanings. Graha as planets, microorganisms and supernatural powers have a definitive role in causing var- ious somatic and psychosomatic afflictions. In Jyothishya shastra Graha refers to planets they are the Surya, Chandra, Mangala, Budha, Guru, Shukra, Shani, Rahu and Ketu. In Ayurveda classics also one can find many evidences regarding jyotishastra. Aim: Relation between Ayur- veda and Jyotishya shastra. Objectives: An attempt to critically analyze the varied understand- ings of Graha and importance of jyotishya and its probable role in causation of various diseases and executing the treatment. Material and method: Various contemporary science and Ayurved- ic classical text comprehensively compiled and critically analyzed. Discussion: Ayurveda be- lieves in the treatment of human ailments by the prescription of herbs. The planets combinations will bring various diseases. Hence, Jyotish could set a physician on the right track on how to go ahead with the treatment of the disease. Conclusion: Graha should be considered as a probable cause of diseases. As one of the diagnostic aspects which may predict diseases trigger diseases and even prevent the onset of diseases.

    Budha (Mercury) Budha means the intelligent, clever or a wise man in Sanskrit. It is also the name of one of the nine grahas whose movement affects human beings as well as nations and weather conditions that are the subject matter of the divine science known as Vedic Astrology. Hindu mythology (Puranas) tells that Budha (Mercury) is the illegitimate son of Chandra (Moon) out of Tara who was Guru’s (Jupiter) wife. The Puranas tell us that Chandra was enamored of Tara the wife of Guru and seduced her when she was taking a walk in a garden. Tara is then said to have eloped with Chandra. On being asked by Guru to return his wife, Chandra refused to do so. Thereupon Guru sought help of other Gods who waged war against Chandra but Chandra who was helped by Shukra (Venus) defeated them. Then Guru sought help of Lord Shiva who set out to fight Chandra. Lord Brahma, who treats Chandra as his son, knew that this war would end in annihilation of Chandra and therefore went to Chandra and prevailed upon him to return Tara to Guru, thus avoiding war. Chandra relented and returned Tara who started living with Guru. However Tara was pregnant by that time and gave birth to Budha at Guru’s place. On being confronted, she accepted that Budha was son of Chandra. However Budha was so handsome, sharp, capable of grasping thing fast, and intelligent that Guru decided to accept him as his own son and taught him all the shastras (sciences), which Budha absorbed in a short time.

  • Narcissism, Self-Effacement and Rahu and Ketu a Key to Understanding People by Hank Friedman
    Narcissism, Self-Effacement and Rahu and Ketu a key to understanding people by Hank Friedman [Note: For those unfamiliar with Vedic terms, Rahu is the Moon's North Node, and Ketu is the Moon's South Node. Thanks to AstroDatabank for the birth data for the charts in this article.] Ascertaining the positions of the Moon's nodes, Rahu and Ketu, arose from the need to predict eclipses. During a New Moon or Full Moon, if either of the nodes is near the Sun and the Moon, an eclipse occurs. Therefore, the central theme of both nodes is the principle of eclipsing. An eclipse is a momentous event, a major omen, respected from the earliest times as representing a change in the wind, a time of great transition. In the context of Vedic astrology, eclipsing carries the meanings of obscuring, negating, diminishing, paralyzing, and blinding, as well as emphasizing, distorting, amplifying, and exaggerating. Many classical Vedic astrology texts show the meaning of the nodes when in specific houses, e.g. Jataka Parijata (Chapter 8, Shloka 60) states: "When Rahu occupies the Ascendant, the person born will be cruel, without compassion or moral virtue in his nature and suffering from ailments. When Ketu occupies the Ascendant, the person born will be sickly and very avaricious. If the Rahu or Ketu in the Ascendant be aspected by a benefic planet, the person concerned will have princely enjoyments." As the final shloka indicates, the nodes are incredibly mutable chameleons who take on the nature of planets with and aspecting them, as well as the nature of their dispositors (planets that rule the signs that they are in).

  • Mangala Dosha- Astrological & Scietific Approach
    MANGALA DOSHA- ASTROLOGICAL & SCIETIFIC APPROACH Mangala dosha, Kuja Dosha,Mars Dosha, Mangalik all these are the same which is frightening most of us having believed in Astrology. In other words, Astrologers (Not all) frighten us about Mangala Dosha and Sarpa doSha/ Kalasarpa Dosha. The fear of these doshas does more harm than the Dosha itself. I have posted in this blog few days back on Sarpa dosha. I remember to have written an article in kannada daily “Vijaya Karnataka”, 6-7 years back. I found that, a part of this article is reproduced in Times of India dated 21-4-2019 ( I don’t claim copy right on this because I am happy as long as the truth is communicated to people to allay unnecessary fear). I have requested Smt Sumana Lakshmeesha who is presently working for a News portal to help me get the said article published in Vijaya Karnataka when she was associated with this Newspaper. Once I get this kannada article I shall post it on this blog. Let me first tell what Mangala Dosha/ Kuja Dosha/Mars Dosha/ Mangalik is according to the ancient texts on Vedic Astrology. 1. The placement of Mars/ Mangala/ Kuja in I, 2, 4, 7, 8, 12 places counted from Lagna (Ascendant) OR Rasi ( Moon Sign) OR from the house where Venus is placed in the Natal Chart for both Men & Women. Going by this Rule almost every chart will have Mars/ Kuja/ Mangala Dosha either from Lagna or from Moon or from Venus, because it is very likely that Lagna, Moon and Venus will be in three different houses in the Zodiac.

  • Uttarakalamritam by Kalidasa
    Uttara Kalamritam by Kalidasa Edited by Chistabo, May 2012 Uttarakalamritam by Kalidasa As per English translation by Panditabushana V. Subrahmanya Sastri B.A. 1 Uttara Kalamritam by Kalidasa Edited by Chistabo, May 2012 INTRODUCTION Present is one more addition to existing literature, pertaining to great and celestial science of Astrology. Many ordinary incidents in life, which we pass by and notice not, as well as phenomena of nature, are easily explained with reference to Astrology. There have been indications of it in works which I have previously translated, viz. Brihat Jataka, Jatakaparijata, Sripati Paddhati and Phaladeepika, works by giants of Astrology. As an instance of influence of phenomena of nature on human life, reference may be made to rainbow caused by refraction of Surya’s rays through a watery prism, consisting of particles of rain water. Rainbow is produced on a morning or on an evening, i.e. when Surya is at Lagna or Astha Lagna. Then, when Surya is at Lagna (rising Rasi or Ascendant), seventh Rasi is encircled by beautiful circles of seven variegated colors on a watery plane. Even so, rising Rasi is encircled by circles of like nature, when Surya is posited in 7th Rasi. Lagna represents native, while seventh Rasi denotes partner of native. Life of native will be happy, cordial and jovial if there be a sympathetic, loving and understanding support from partner. Seven colors of rainbow represent seven Grahas, who by various combinations produce seven kinds of energy or seven modes of motion that are found common in Universe. Uttarakalamritam, which is here translated, discloses a treasure house of knowledge on Astrology, so far unrevealed.
